First day of school

Wednesday while coming home from grocery shopping I was talking to Ace about starting preschool. She was so excited until I explained it was just for her, Mommy and Lala were just going to drop her off and go home. She lost it, this explanation lead to walking the rest of the way home with a 3 year old attached to my leg kissing my butt and crying NOO MAMA YOU TOO, YOU SCHOOL TOO, PLEASE MAMA, SCHOOL YOU AND LALA PLEEASE. I distracted her with chocolate milk and some lunch, and spent the afternoon worrying about it.

Supper time rolled around she brought up school again, so I told her tomorrow morning we could pack her back pack and have breakfast and then we'd go to school, she was excited again and wanted to pack her back pack RIGHT NOW.

So we got up and did all the things I promised, we got dressed, took some pictures outside and walked to school. The only tear shed were over putting on her indoor shoes. She was the only tomboy in her class too, with her Mohawk hat, camo pants, and Harley shirt. The teacher opened the classroom door called for puzzles to be put away (and she did, she never does at home), and then zoom into the room and sitting in the circle without a goodbye or a look back, my kid.

I was late to pick her up, well sorta. I thought I was early so I was letting L run around a bit until I noticed the other parents coming out, oops. She did not want to leave, she ran to one of the teachers and yelled NO NO HOME ME STAY STAAAAAY. And cried the whole way home demanding to be carried. At one point I said "I guess I should have brought the wagon, and she said "yeah Mommy." In her "well duh mom" voice.
